ABCS, developed by the APG Network in cooperation with IATA as a way to increase BSP membership to secondary and tertiary markets, permits scheduled airlines (whether IATA members or not) to join any BSP worldwide on a variable cost, “Pay as you Earn” basis, with nominal joining fees. The BSP system, operating in 110 locations covering over 140 countries, has accredited 64,000 travel agents. APG Network has introduced more than 250 airlines to BSP membership in both “Online” and “Offline” markets and has over 1,200 activated BSP membership contracts in force in the BSPs around the world.
